Music Reviews
The Beatles - If I Needed Someone (Song)
If I Needed Someone is a song by The Beatles which appears on their record Rubber Soul. Something important about Rubber Soul is that it certainly acted as an indication that The Beatles were really starting to move away from the traditional pop-rock sound that they had into a …
Like A Stone - Audioslave
I have come to terms with the fact that most song writers lose their edge as they get older, and create more and more boring music. I guess it is just a fact of aging that people calm down and get more settled into a decent lifestyle, then decide …
Pet Shop Boys (music group)
One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …
So Wrong It’s Right by All Time Low, album
All Time Low’s second full-length album has become one of my favorite by the artist. So Wrong It’s Right is, in my opinion, All Time Low’s most powerful compilation of pop-punk-revival songs which mixes sometimes run of the mill pop punk themes with energetic and …
Falling Into You by Celine Dion
Way before the Titanic hit song, this Falling Into You by Celine Dion had already made its way into my heart and stayed put on it. Until now, during my boring days, I would listen to Celine on this album of hers. I so love Because You Loved …
Metallica Death Magnetic
Death Magnetic is the band’s ninth studio album, first to feature Robert Trujillo, and first with producer Rick Rubin who replaced Bob Rock, Rock had been the band’s producer since The Black Album. The band had a lot of work to do with the album, they had to prove …

Toby Mac’s “City on Our Knees” Song
The first time I heard the song “City on Our Knees” by Toby Mac it was on the ending scenes from the movie “Grace Card”. Not only does the song bring to light some deep emotions that everyone feels when listening to a song that is meaningful to them, …
Queen: Greatest Hits
While I’m not a huge Queen fan, I do like several of their songs and believe their music is perfect for when I’m in the car trying to stay awake on my drive to work.
That’s why I was glad to find their Greatest Hits album on sale at Wal-mart …
Rush In Rio, live Rush DVD
This was released in 2003, 29 songs in all. Right up front, the only problem I think this live video had, was that Rush, for some reason, felt the need to inlcude a loud mix of the audience singing along on the final audio mix of the DVD. …
Wait For You by Elliott Yamin
I love this song, Wait For You by Elliott Yamin so, so much. In fact, I would listen to this song track like almost everyday, it’s just impossible not to hear it. It would be so, so romantic if a guy could sing this song for me personally …
No Doubt (band)
Even as my tastes in music have changed over the years, the band “No Doubt” has remained one of my favourite bands. This is because I find their music to be quite usual and an interesting mixture of many of the other types of music I have been interested …
Girl (2005): Destiny’s Child
Artist: Destiny’s Child
Video: Girl
Album: Destiny Fulfilled
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Bryan Barber
Finally, a Destiny’s Child song with a real positive message that is not deceiving nor manipulative, plus there’s a very original and creative music video to go along with. Wow, I am impressed. “Girl” is the third single and music …
Unappreciated by Cherish
This girl-group band, a bit similar like Destiny’s Child is known as Cherish and I had this particular album titled Unappreciated by them. They are really 4 awesome black ladies singers and they croon tunes which are really pleasing to my ears.
What’s best is that they are not …
Good Charlotte CD - Good Morning Revival
“Good Morning Revival” is the 2007 album from pop-punk band Good Charlotte.It is very different to their previous 3 albums in that it introduces a new Dance sound into Good Charlotte’s normal snotty teen pop-punk sound.Fans of Good Charlotte’s earlier work (I would be one of them)may be disappointed …
The Dance by Garth Brooks
The Dance, sung by Garth Brooks, holds different meaning to different people. For me, it is about the death of a child. To others, it is about lost love. It truly can be whatever you want it to be about. This is one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs. …
Sound Peace - David & Steve Gordon
Sound Peace - David & Steve Gordon is a fairly enjoyable audio CD that offers a combination of flutes, guitar chords, harps, wind chimes, piano melodies and more. All of the instrumental music that appears on this CD is gentle and soft, and is arranged in a way that …
“Same Girl” (2007): R. Kelly ft. Usher
R. Kelly ft. Usher
“Same Girl”
Double Up
Jive Records
“Same Girl” is a rather refreshing breath of air in R. Kelly’s chronology of singles and music videos. Big time. This music video is of “Dow Low (Nobody Has to Know)” and “Trapped in the Closet” caliber. “Same Girl” is the second single …
Boyzone : Back Again … No Matter What
There are eighteen tracks that are packaged in albums titled, Back Again … No Matter What. Fifteen songs from the entire contents of this album, is the old songs of their property, the arrangement is not much different from the album The Best of those who were given the …
The Offspring Rise And Fall Rage And Grace
Released in June of 2008, Rise and Fall, Rage And Grace is The Offspring’s eighth album, the album was produced by Bob Rock. It is a good album and it shows how the band has matured and this is good progression, one thing I don’t like about it is …
Metallica - Slither (Song)
Slither is a song by Metallica which appears on their album Reload, the second half of their doubl ealbum, Load/Reload. The song opens up with an extended powerchord with Hetfield beginning the vocals very early singing with some kind of effect on his voice in a tone that I …
Yahweh (song by, u2)
U2 is an Irish rock band and one of their CD goes by the name of “How to dismantle an atomic bomb.” I decided to pull it out of my music collection and give it a listen, since I was in the mood to hear some of their music. …
Album : Emerald Sun - Regeneration (2011)
As much as i enjoy the occasional power metal album, these days there are so many options available and releases in the genre are so frequent that it’s gotten to the point that an album of this style really needs something special if it’s going to draw me in …
Circle of Our Love song
Saturday’s Warrior, just an inspiration play that is beyond words, has many memorable songs from it, all from the hands of lyricist Doug Stewart and Lex De Azevedo, who did the music while also serving as the play’s producer. My third favorite song from this play is a …
Awolnation (electronic rock band)
The first time that I even heard of the band “Awolnation” was when someone I knew introduced me to their song “Sail”. Afterwards I haven’t heard much of them on neither the media nor anywhere else, but I still listen to their music from time to time.
In case …
Mountain-Mississipi Queen (song)
A very popular song in today’s rock standards would definitely have to be Mississipi Queen by the band Mountain. This song just has a great punch to it and it’s a really good song while im just cruising in the car. It’s meant to be played loud! The …
Circus by Britney Spears
Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …
Weezer - Tired Of Sex (Song)
Tired Of Sex is the opening song on Pinkerton, the second album by Weezer. What strikes a listener immediately about this track, compared to any of the songs on Weezer’s debut album, is that it has a much rougher sound to it and isn’t quite as pop sounding. This …
What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo
What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo is a very lovely song and Chrisette Michele, with her powerful vocals, totally sweep me away with this song. What You Do is the title given and Ne-Yo adds a touch of class as well. It is just awesome …
Animal Collective - People (Album)
People is an EP by Animal Collective which was released in 2006. After listening to their first EP, Prospect Hummer, I had quite high hopes for this EP, but I must be clear and say that I came out of listening thoroughly disappointed. Comprised of four tracks, I can …
In The Air Tonight (2001): Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
“In The Air Tonight”
Urban Renewal
WEA
This must be Lil’ Kim’s attempt at an epic music video that has some sort of plot to it aka a mini-movie. R. Kelly has done it, Puff Daddy has done it, and Michael Jackson has certainly done it. My guess …
Song: “Your and Your Hand” by Pink
“Your and Your Hand” by Pink has to be one of the catchiest songs I have heard on the radio in the past few years. At first I thought it was Kelly Clarkson, but realized it was Pink. I should have figured Ms. Clarkson wouldn’t want to ruin …
Coldplay
My favorite genre of music is alternative, and one of my most favorite bands ever is Coldplay. Their songs are often my soundtracks to the things I do everyday. I have a favorite Coldplay song for when I feel sad, when I’m running, when I’m driving, before …
MGMT - Honey Bunny (Song)
Honey Bunny is a track by MGMT which appears on their record Climbing To New Lows, the first album they released. Returning to the traditional song structure of earlier track son this album like Hot Love Drama and Money To Burn, Honey Bunny is one of my favorite tracks …
Tired of Dream Theater? Listen to 1st Chapter by Circus Maximus
I’m a progressive music lover and a long time fan of Dream Theater. But suddenly it occurred to me that I was simply not enjoying their music anymore. I started hauling the web for similar artists to Dream Theater. Some came up too metal, others too technical, and others …
Doolittle, 1989 Album by The Pixies
This album is impressive on several layers. Songs on this album are quite different from one another, and I would not say that I like all of them, all the types of songs that are there. But it is clear that none of the songs on the album are …
Kid Cudi - Ashin’ Kusher (Song)
Ashin’ Kusher is a song by Kid Cudi which appears on his second album Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager. Opening up with an interesting electronic drum rhythm, Kid Cudi enters with the first verse of the track pretty quickly with a melody that I …
Frogsomp (Album from Silverchair)
Frogstomp was officially released in 1995, but the algum ideas were already half-done in 1994.
Frogstomb is the first album from the band Silverchair.The members were only fifteen, but the album maturity does not look like coming from teenagers.In my opinion, this album is their best in general, becaus the …
Rowdy Country
Rowdy Country is a music video that stars George Jones, Mickey Gilley, Mel McDaniel and Moe Bandy. George Jones performs the song The one I Loved Back Then which is also known as the corvette song. I like this one because it is so funny to think that the …
Iron Maiden - Only The Good Die Young (Song)
Only The Good Die Young is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. This song opens up with a pretty quick guitar lead which has a very upbeat sound to it but it’s a pretty cool riff nonetheless, although I …
All That Remains: Overcome
This is one solid CD. I am a fan of this band and I have been for a while now. Their previous CD was amazing and I had high expectations for this one. I was right. This CD was everything I had hoped it would be. The CD cover …
The Aria Ocarina, by STL Ocarina
I received my Aria Ocarina from St. Louis Ocarina (STL) in 2014 and found it difficult (at first) to play. While the ocarina is an incredibly easy instrument to learn to play, it can be a challenge to play well, and in the beginning, the notes played so sharp …
Tool - Faaip De Oiad (Song)
Faaip De Oiad is a song by Tool which appears on their record Lateralus. The song starts out with some synthesizers and background noise which sets up a very eerie atmosphere which surrounds this entire album. Thus far the sound is very unsettling and once the chaotic drum pattern …
Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams (Song )
I admit that even though I have been reviewing mostly indie and alternative music in this site, I’m still a huge fan of Pop music especially after country superstar Taylor Swift converted into the genre.
Obviously, we all know that Taylor Swift was not a pop star for at least …
Luciano Pavarotti - The Greatest Opera Arias
My grandma got this CD as a present for her birthday, and me being a lover of calssic music, got her permission to listen to it a couple of times.
Pavarotti is a genious when it comes to vocals, you can feal the strength of his voice coming out of …
System Of A Down - Suite-Pee (Song)
Suite-Pee is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their self-titled debut record. Malakian opens the track with an interesting riff which focuses on the use of natural harmonics before going into a traditional System Of A Down rhythm which is characterized by a heavy rhythm …
P.E. 2000: Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Martin Weisz
I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …
